Since
the return of the doves to Noah's Ark brought news that God's wrath
had been appeased and the floods were over, they have been recognized
in all languages and cultures as a symbol of peace. Flocks are released
into the sky the world over on occasions whose purpose is amity and
tranquility. Universally symbolic in Christianity is the use of the
dove to represent the Spirit of God. So too does this sculpture impart
serenity and quiet composure. Its near perfect contour lines beckon
your caress. To sweep it with your palm is to feel the peace within
it. The perfection required in making this sculpture made it the most
difficult of my career.
